Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stone treatment varies depending on the size and type of stone. Small stones often pass on their own with increased fluid intake. For larger stones, options include medications to help with pain and facilitate passage, shock wave lithotripsy to break stones into smaller pieces, or surgical procedures for removal. It's important to stay hydrated and make dietary changes to prevent future stones. Doctors may also analyze stones to suggest specific preventive measures. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
